A honeymoon that threads ancient Maya worlds with Caribbean blues. Wander temple plazas in the jungle, drift through limestone caves and wake to the hush of rainforest—then trade it all for sugar-soft sand, coral gardens and barefoot island time. It’s romance with a spirit of discovery.

Suggested 13-Night Flow
Nights 1–2 · Arrival in Belize (City → Cayo District)
Land in Belize and transfer inland to the Cayo District. The rainforest sets the tone: broadleaf canopy, birdsong and rivers that thread the hills. Settle into a boutique jungle hideaway and let the journey slow your breathing.
Nights 3–4 · Caves & Rivers
Spend days gently active: canoe along calm stretches of river, float through limestone passages and wander forest trails to hidden pools. Evenings are quiet—dinners under the stars, the background chorus of the jungle.
Nights 5–6 · Guatemala’s Tikal
Cross into Guatemala to uncover Tikal, one of the great Maya cities. Walk temple causeways beneath ceiba trees and climb a viewpoint for sunrise light across the canopy. Sleep nearby so you can experience the site in its stillest hours.
Nights 7–8 · Return to Belize’s Interior
Back in Belize, choose a different lodge or linger where you’ve found your rhythm. Visit a second archaeological site or chase a waterfall with a picnic for two. Think slow mornings, long shadows and time to be together.
Nights 9–13 · Caribbean Cayes (Island Stay)
Fly out to the reef and unpack for five unhurried nights on a laid-back island. Snorkel with rays and technicolor fish, take a gentle sail at sunset, or simply walk the beach at dawn. Evenings are breezy and barefoot; the sea is your metronome.
Departure Day
Return to the mainland for your flight home—salt in your hair, jungle still in your ears, and a shared story written in two landscapes.
